  • QUOTE:
  • What is an Azure resource group? Each resource in Azure must belong to a resource group. A resource group is a logical container that associates multiple resources so you can manage them as a single entity, based on lifecycle and security. For example, you can create or delete resources as a group if the resources share a similar lifecycle, such as the resources for an n-tier application. In other words, everything that you create, manage, and deprecate together is associated within a resource group. Recommended best practice is to associate resource groups, and the resources they contain, with an Azure subscription.
